Move URLs in Text to End of Story Or Link Text. Also: Tables

Hello everyone

 

I'm currently working on a script that translates Textile Markup into formatted InDesign-Text. This worked fine for the most part, seeing as it's not really hard to do by FindChangeByList. Some things are a bit trickier than other things, though. Namely URLs in the text. In Textile, all URLs are like so. Let's say I'd like to link to Google. So I'd type this: "Google":http://www.google.com This would produce Google. I can isolate the word and delete the URL by [\\\"](.+?)[\\\"]:\\?\\S+ and then replacing by $1. So far so good.

 

However!

 

It would be awesome, if the URLs were still in the text. So I'd either like to have it like so: Google or that the word Google (or any $1, really) stands in the text and then the link is added to the end of the text as a kind of "Sources"-paragraph-thing. How can this be done? Can I do it by FindChangeByList? Because that would be cool, seeing as then I'd only need to run one script.

 

And here's a general question: How can I translate Textile-Tables into Formatted InDesign-Tables?

 

For reference, this would be a table with one header row.

 

|_. name |_. age |_. sex |

| joan | 24 | f |

| archie | 29 | m |

| bella | 45 | f |

 

Can this be done?

 

Thank you very much for your help!
